I wonder if we need to check this or if any log would show this?

Just a reminder that `/discourse-setup` already checks for basic prerequisites before allowing an install, such as RAM, DISK, CPU, etc

Yes, that’s why I assumed that checking available RAM is not needed. RAM mostly stays the same after installation. But available disk space tends to get smaller with time. I ran into problems with other systems several times which root cause was that the system had no free disk space remaining. So that would be worth checking.

I will create a PR.

I’m taking notes on what I could do each time I see a topic “xxx not working” and will work on it again once I have a better understanding. It’s not dead.

Would adding a git section give useful information?

`git status` for example?
